Do basic vitals on the goats (temp, pulse, respiration)
We do general health checks when we trim hooves. I like getting temps a few times on each goat to learn their "normal" but other than that only when they seem off.
Do fecal counts?
I like doing a fecal 2 times a year as a check up as well as any time one seems to need a check.
Bolus Copper? (Does anybody do it regularly or does everybody look for signs of deficiency only? What about Copper overdose?)
We bolus every 3 to 4 months based in condition.
What about BO-SE shots? I heard about that from one goat herder but that seems to be a solution looking for a problem in the goat world... or my goat world.
We do BoSe once to twice a year. Most mine are good once but I have a few who seem to need it twice a year.
Trimming I already figured out is 4-weeks average. Shorten the time for wet/soft ground. Lengthen for rough/dry ground.
Yup^^^
